Peer Response #1 Week 4

“War is what happens when language fails.” ― Margaret Atwood


I just really like this quote.This made me think of the statement, "It's not what you say, it's HOW you say it." Communication is key and I think when things become misinterpreted, that's when war begins. Fights break out and feelings get hurt. Sometimes the war leads to a death in a relationship. Even though it’s abstract, it really puts a mental picture in someone’s head because of the deep connotations of “war” and “fail.” I also think it’s a good thing to think about because in our society where technology is so prevalent, language is a little lost.
